Guest Lunatech Posted March 21, 2003 Report Posted March 21, 2003 Dont know if this question has been asked before, but I could not find it when I searched for it.. Anyway; Anyone know if there is a third party sms letter counter avail anywhere? I just hate it when I manage to type 162 letters and on the 2'nd msg that pop up on my girlfriends phone is ---> .. Life would be so much more easy with a counter :) ;) Regards, Tony
Guest omar_g Posted March 21, 2003 Report Posted March 21, 2003 There is one in the second Danish update but it means you can't (?) de-certify your phone.
Guest ajb3000 Posted March 22, 2003 Report Posted March 22, 2003 Alternatively our SMS service when launched will feature a character counter. In case you don't know about it, it will enable you to send SMS over GPRS for far less than Orange charge.
Guest Lunatech Posted March 22, 2003 Report Posted March 22, 2003 Sound greate! Looking forwards to it. Be sure to post the link for the webpage when its done. Maby you have a link already now so that we can follow up on whats happening? :) Regards, Tony
Guest NederSoren Posted March 22, 2003 Report Posted March 22, 2003 Danish SMS counter aren't the greatest tool i know, because if you go to your SMS inbox and press new messege from there, the counter won't disapear. It only does if you go to your contacts and then use the joystick to chose SMS on a contact, and then press the action button. (Plz tell me if im wrong, and there is a solution to this) I gues that the counter will be in the next UK update to... But then you probertly can't unlock the UK phones eighter... :wink:
Guest yatpeak Posted March 22, 2003 Report Posted March 22, 2003 Isn't it just much harder to unlock with the second DK update? I didn't think that there was no longer a way... Thanks, Wyatt
Guest NederSoren Posted March 22, 2003 Report Posted March 22, 2003 Im not sure? I just thougth that no one actually had found a way that worked yet? I just hope that orange kick themself in theit arse and take away that stupid certify thing... If you speak danish take a look on 4smartphone.dk, they actually mean that Orange/Microsoft loos money on it.. :roll:
Guest ajb3000 Posted March 22, 2003 Report Posted March 22, 2003 Lunatech, there is no webpage yet with the information, I will post the information here soon.
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted March 22, 2003 Report Posted March 22, 2003 there is not an actual way to decert DK2 :) There is a sort of workaround but that involves using the DK1 update.
Guest yatpeak Posted March 23, 2003 Report Posted March 23, 2003 Would it be possible to find the letter counter within the update and install it separately? Thanks, Wyatt
Guest alanorange Posted April 28, 2003 Report Posted April 28, 2003 SMS COUNTER ON ORANGE UK SPV - Guy @ microsoft came to orange today to answer staff q's on the SPV he had SMS character counter but still only comes up if you scroll through contacts and then select sms - if you run outlook (inbox) it doesn't bring up the character support - the MS guy didn't notice till i pointed it out to him. - something MS are working on. He also had an orange SPVx/SPVe100 still name not sure - spvx i thing is better - or maybe waiting for another phone to come out with built in camera for SPVx. - the spv cradle doesn't fit with the spvx but the flex keyboard does and its easy enough to use too. Only other bit of info i have is that Smartphone2003 is out soon and SPV customers will be able to update their software to 2003 model - so not left behind! - this only available after orange test!!!! so lets say this time next year!
Guest ajb3000 Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 so lets say this time next year! I'll have a new phone by then!!
Guest Gorskar Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 Only other bit of info i have is that Smartphone2003 is out soon and SPV customers will be able to update their software to 2003 model - so not left behind! - this only available after orange test!!!! so lets say this time next year! Well this is good news - first time I believe I've heard that this will be available as an upgrade to SPVs
Guest alanorange Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 came from mouth of microsoft due to me asking! another MS guy came to work today too but i didn't even wanna go to him - typical computer geek! - sorry if ur reading this ! but its true!
Guest Thurstan Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 Orneta Notepad is a free app with a character counter. It allows you to type text and then send it as an SMS from within the program. Think the problem with it is that you have to type in the number you're sending the SMS to, as it doesn't use the phone's contacts list yet, although that may have been addressed in a later version than the one I have installed, have a look and find out here: http://www.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=25642 Have to app-unlock to use it though
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 The Planus app has a character counter as well... ;)
Guest imp Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 Off course you can de-certify your phone if you've got the danish update 2... On that Orange site that was launched a couple of weeks ago where you could decertify your phone if you were a developer... That works on the DK 2 update... //imp
Guest Playdoh Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 alanorange interesting approach to avoiding the computer geek...he may have had more info :shock:
Guest Wildfire Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 came from mouth of microsoft due to me asking! another MS guy came to work today too but i didn't even wanna go to him - typical computer geek! - sorry if ur reading this ! but its true! Alanorange, That's a bit harsh isn't it? I spoke to the same person and would say that he knows what he is talking about, but is cretainly no Geek Wildfire
Guest alanorange Posted May 1, 2003 Report Posted May 1, 2003 the guy that was there today - ie thursday!!! was ok! they were using office 2003 and also asked them about longhorn (new windows) but won't reveal any answers.
